2 Reyes 12

Diodati 1885

1L'ANNO settimo di Iehu, Gioas cominciò a regnare, e regnò quarant'anni in Gerusalemme. E il nome di sua madre era Sibia, da Beerseba.

2E Gioas fece quello che piace al Signore, tutto il tempo che il sacerdote Gioiada l'ammaestrò.

3Nondimeno gli alti luoghi non furono tolti; il popolo sacrificava ancora, e faceva profumi negli altri luoghi.

4E Gioas disse a' sacerdoti: Prendano i sacerdoti tutti i danari consecrati che son portati nella Casa del Signore, i danari di chiunque passa fra gli annoverati, i danari per le persone, secondo l'estimazione di ciascuno; prendano eziandio, ciascuno dal suo conoscente, tutti i danari che viene in cuore a ciascuno di portar nella Casa del Signore.

5E ne ristorino le rotture della Casa del Signore, dovunque se ne troverà alcuna.

6Ma nell'anno ventesimoterzo del re Gioas, i sacerdoti non aveano ancora ristorate le rotture della Casa del Signore.

7Laonde il re Gioas chiamò il sacerdote Gioiada, e gli altri sacerdoti, e disse loro: Perchè non ristorate voi le rotture della Casa? Ora dunque non prendete più danari da' vostri conoscenti; anzi, lasciateli per ristorare le rotture della Casa.

8Ed i sacerdoti acconsentirono di non prender più danari dal popolo, ed altresì di non avere a ristorare le rotture della Casa.

9E il sacerdote Gioiada prese una cassa, e nel coperchio di essa fece un buco; e la mise presso all'Altare dal lato destro, quando si entra nella Casa del Signore; ed i sacerdoti che stavano alla guardia della soglia della Casa vi mettevano dentro tutti i danari ch'erano portati nella Casa del Signore.

10E quando vedevano che vi erano danari assai nella cassa, lo scrivano del re, e il sommo sacerdote, venivano, e dopo aver contati i danari che si trovavano nella Casa del Signore, il legavano in sacchetti.

11Poi davano que' danari contati in mano a coloro che aveano la cura del lavoro, ch'erano costituiti sopra la Casa del Signore; ed essi li spendevano in legnaiuoli e fabbricatori, che lavoravano nella Casa del Signore;

12ed in muratori, ed in iscarpellini; e per comperar legnami, e pietre tagliate, per ristorar le rotture della Casa del Signore, ed in tutto ciò che occorreva per ristorar la Casa.

13Altro non si faceva di que' danari ch'erano portati nella Casa del Signore, nè vasellamenti d'argento, per la Casa del Signore, nè forcelle, nè bacini, nè trombe, nè alcun altro strumento d'oro o di argento.

14Anzi erano dati a coloro che aveano la cura dell'opera, i quali con essi ristoravano la Casa del Signore.

15E non si faceva render contro a quegli uomini, nelle cui mani si davano que' danari, per darli a quelli che lavoravano all'opera; perciocchè essi lo facevano lealmente.

16I danari per la colpa, e i danari per lo peccato, non erano portati dentro alla Casa del Signore; quegli erano per li sacerdoti.

17Allora Hazael, re di Siria, salì, e guerreggiò contro a Gat, e la prese; poi voltò la faccia, per salire contro a Gerusalemme.

18Ma Gioas, re di Giuda, prese tutte le cose consacrate, che Giosafat, Gioram, ed Achazia, suoi padri, re di Giuda, aveano consacrate, e anche quelle che egli stesso avea consacrate, e tutto l'oro che si trovò ne' tesori della Casa del Signore, e della casa del re; e mandò tutto ciò ad Hazael, re di Siria; ed egli si dipartì da Gerusalemme.

19Ora, quant'è al rimanente de' fatti di Gioas, e tutto ciò ch'egli fece; queste cose non sono esse scritte nel libro delle Croniche dei re di Giuda?

20Ora i suoi servitori si levarono, e fecero una congiura, e percossero Gioas nella casa di Millo, nella scesa di Silla.

21Iozacar, figliuolo di Simat, e Iozabad, figliuolo di Somer, suoi servitori, lo percossero; ed egli morì, e fu seppellito, co' suoi padri, nella Città di Davide. Ed Amasia, suo figliuolo, regnò in luogo suo.

Reina-Valera 1909

1EN el séptimo año de Jehú comenzó á reinar Joas, y reinó cuarenta años en Jerusalem. El nombre de su madre fué Sibia, de Beer-seba.

2Y Joas hizo lo recto en ojos de Jehová todo el tiempo que le dirigió el sacerdote Joiada.

3Con todo eso los altos no se quitaron; que aun sacrificaba y quemaba el pueblo perfumes en los altos.

4Y Joas dijo á los sacerdotes: Todo el dinero de las santificaciones que se suele traer á la casa de Jehová, el dinero de los que pasan en cuenta, el dinero por las personas, cada cual según su tasa, y todo el dinero que cada uno de su propia voluntad mete en la casa de Jehová,

5Recíbanlo los sacerdotes, cada uno de sus familiares, y reparen los portillos del templo donde quiera que se hallare abertura.

6Pero el año veintitrés del rey Joas, no habían aún reparado los sacerdotes las aberturas del templo.

7Llamando entonces el rey Joas al pontífice Joiada y á los sacerdotes, díjoles: ¿Por qué no reparáis las aberturas del templo? Ahora pues, no toméis más el dinero de vuestros familiares, sino dadlo para reparar las roturas del templo.

8Y los sacerdotes consintieron en no tomar más dinero del pueblo, ni tener cargo de reparar las aberturas del templo.

9Mas el pontífice Joiada tomó un arca, é hízole en la tapa un agujero, y púsola junto al altar, á la mano derecha como se entra en el templo de Jehová; y los sacerdotes que guardaban la puerta, ponían allí todo el dinero que se metía en la casa de Jehová.

10Y cuando veían que había mucho dinero en el arca, venía el notario del rey y el gran sacerdote, y contaban el dinero que hallaban en el templo de Jehová, y guardábanlo.

11Y daban el dinero suficiente en mano de los que hacían la obra, y de los que tenían el cargo de la casa de Jehová; y ellos lo expendían en pagar los carpinteros y maestros que reparaban la casa de Jehová,

12Y los albañiles y canteros; y en comprar la madera y piedra de cantería para reparar las aberturas de la casa de Jehová; y en todo lo que se gastaba en la casa para repararla.

13Mas de aquel dinero que se traía á la casa de Jehová, no se hacían tazas de plata, ni salterios, ni jofainas, ni trompetas; ni ningún otro vaso de oro ni de plata se hacía para el templo de Jehová:

14Porque lo daban á los que hacían la obra, y con él reparaban la casa de Jehová.

15Y no se tomaba cuenta á los hombres en cuyas manos el dinero era entregado, para que ellos lo diesen á los que hacían la obra: porque lo hacían ellos fielmente.

16El dinero por el delito, y el dinero por los pecados, no se metía en la casa de Jehová; porque era de los sacerdotes.

17Entonces subió Hazael rey de Siria, y peleó contra Gath, y tomóla: y puso Hazael su rostro para subir contra Jerusalem;

18Por lo que tomó Joas rey de Judá todas las ofrendas que había dedicado Josaphat, y Joram y Ochôzías sus padres, reyes de Judá, y las que él había dedicado, y todo el oro que se halló en los tesoros de la casa de Jehová, y en la casa del rey, y enviólo á Hazael rey de Siria: y él se partió de Jerusalem.

19Lo demás de los hechos de Joas, y todas las cosas que hizo, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá?

20Y levantáronse sus siervos, y conspiraron en conjuración, y mataron á Joas en la casa de Millo, descendiendo él á Silla;

21Pues Josachâr hijo de Simaath, y Jozabad hijo de Somer, sus siervos, hiriéronle, y murió. Y sepultáronlo con sus padres en la ciudad de David, y reinó en su lugar Amasías su hijo.

King James Version

1In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

2And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

3But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

4And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD,

5Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

6But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

7Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

8And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

9But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.

10And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.

11And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,

12And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

13Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:

14But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.

15Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

16The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests’.

17Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

18And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

19And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

20And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.

21For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

World English Bible

1Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

2Jehoash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

3However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

4Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into the LORD’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the LORD’s house,

5let the priests take it to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”

6But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to the house.

7Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”

8The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to the house.

9But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the LORD’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into the LORD’s house into it.

10When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in the LORD’s house.

11They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the LORD’s house,

12and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to the LORD’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

13But there were not made for the LORD’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the LORD’s house;

14for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired the LORD’s house with it.

15Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.

16The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the LORD’s house. It was the priests’.

17Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

18Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.

19Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

20His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.

21For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
